Is it any cheaper to make a glass of soda?

While I'm here, can you buy Coca Cola syrup made the Mexican way with cane sugar? I could drink one a day of the 12 oz Mexican Cokes in glass bottles but they run over 2 bucks ea. I know, that's the price of a good beer but sometimes I like a soda and can't somehow do that number.

Especially when a 12 pack of canned sodas are $2.50 ea (about .30 ea plus tax) when on sale and purchased 4 packs at a time. Canned soda sucks anyway. I do pour it aggressively over ice in a glass to help it out some.

The last resort would be to make my own syrup. The Coke recipe floating around is close enough.

And finally, is there an alternative to Sodastream that is practical for the home?
